Students participating in the clinic will also receive a free ticket to the team’s home game versus Bethel College at 5 p.m. that night.

“We wanted to do something for the military families that sacrifice so much for us,” Saint Mary coach Mike Basler said. “Through my time in the community, I know there are a lot of military families that don’t always get to do things in the community because they move so often. We thought it would be great to go up there for a day and just give back.

“It’s great for our players, too. When you’re a college athlete you need to realize you’re fortunate, and you need to give back and try to be somebody’s hero.”

Clinic participants should wear a T-shirt, shorts and basketball shoes, and bring a water bottle to the event.
